Super Bowl, here we come. After going down 14-3, I got a bit scared. Now I know that Big Red was just trying to make his former protege Ron Rivera feel good for a few minutes. Andy is nice.

Bryce Brown looks great. The OL is opening good holes. Even Dion Lewis is contributing.

Nick Foles was good on the opening drive unti that got to the Red Zone. Since then, he’s been highly erratic. His decision-making has not been good. Nick is forcing the ball into coverage. That has to stop. He’s had 3 INTs dropped by the Panthers.

The defense was awful, but then came alive in the 2nd Qtr. More of that, please.

BG and Curry at end are playing well right now. Why was Curry inactive for so long???

TommyLawlor

Washburn loves Darryl Tapp.

noah heulitt

Tapp seems to always play with hustle, but always seem to eaten up in blocks. Curry, so far, seems to be doing a better job of shedding blocks and reading the play. Hope he continues to see time with BG

Spelled that way and it looks like a Wed night special at my favorite local Indian place . . . Also includes G Naan

SleepingDuck

Only positive from this game is Bryce Brown.. Props to Howie and Andy for finding him.

TommyLawlor

Legit PI call on Nakamura.

Great TD run. Simple. Just used burst off the edge.

A_T_G

I have a Buick LeSabre. Maybe I should send in a resume?

BobSmith77

Entertaining game if less than stellar execution by both teams so far. It does piss me of to no end though to watch the Eagles stay close by using a run/pass ratio close to 50/50 and not asking his QB to do too much with a conservative game plan.

Dog sh*t on the OL, but still winning by running a balanced offense..all the more reason to fire Reid. Shoulda been doing this all year (last 14 years).

BobSmith77

Don’t expect Reid to ‘run the ball for running the ball sake’ but it has been even more frustrating this year refuse to dial things back given all of the inconsistency/roster shuffling/injuries the OL has dealt with this year.

teltschikfakeout88

It’s the panthers one of a few teams which we have more wins than. Let’s not extrapolate this performance onto to others games against other teams. Also we just fumbled again. Same junk as the past games and I am pretty sure Reid does not game plan for lost fumbles. Just sayin

SleepingDuck

Please stop fumbling….

Ark87

eagles up with the ball on a short field, felt good for the first time in a long time…was good while it lasted

I would love to see the numbers break out after tonight on the defense under Castillo and Bowles but I have no idea why this defense is suddenly tackling the past month like they did last year. Only guy that tackles with any kind of consistency not on the DL is Ryans.

A_T_G

McCoy’s been teaching Brown how to carry the ball.

BobSmith77

I have been pretty impressed by Newton tonight. He has a little more talent around him than RGIII does but both guys could use a lot more help.

Why hasn’t Reid ever done the QB sneak going back to Dmac on 4th and inches?

bdbd20

Um, you have a 240 lb QB and you run that play on 4th and inches. I give up, they’re obviously smarter than all of us.

BobSmith77

Of course Andy won’t give any kind of legit or honest response after the game on why he made that call there.

A_T_G

Come on guys, a failed sneak and the comments would have been about not giving the ball to the guy with the record setting day. Just be glad we didn’t throw it.

shah8

I don’t think so. The critical, absolute critical issue with the Eagles over the last few years has been weak interior linemen. If we could rely on a line to get a push, then it wouldn’t be controversial at all to hand off to BB.

shah8

And even then, we could run on the left pretty good. No quality on the left side of the line now.

ceteris_paribus1776

Whadda ya know, Coleman and Asomugha combine for….a big play given up

A_T_G

That counts as a sack for Babin! He is back!

BobSmith77

It would be nice if the defense actually forced a turnover here for a change and made a play.

TommyLawlor

Not yet. Waiting for the right moment.

DamonL86

nice discipline on D

Ark87

was wondering where the crowd was…there they are!

DarthBanner

Panthers are going to win the game, but the Eagles win the battle of the draft order.

If we travel east and cross the dateline, it will be tomorrow night and we’ll be watching MNF. If we travel west, it will be yesterday and we won’t have suffered through this game. With this kind of logic, I expect to soon have a position on the Eagles staff.

TommyLawlor

I hope they enjoyed at least 1 Bryce Brown TD.

GermanEagle

I saw the first BB TD live and also enjoyed his seccond “as-live” on my NFL.com gamepass this morning…his 2 fumbles?! Not so much…!

GermanEagle

I went back to bed at 3am. Glad that I did after watching the condensed 2nd half on my NFL gamepass this morning.

ceteris_paribus1776

Would anyone be upset if Andy were fired tomorrow? I honestly could careless what they do at this point.

bdbd20

#3 Pick!!!!!!

BobSmith77

Friend texted and said maybe 60-65% actually showed up. Tirico was right that this felt like a preseason game.

DamonL86

There is nothing left to say about this team

ceteris_paribus1776

Great stat there. Car held the NFL record for not holding an opponent scoreless in the 4th QR until they faced the juggernaut in Philly

The ‘Fire Reid Now’ will grow after the game and rightly so given what I thought was questionable effort by the defense tonight. Only reason Reid should stay is because of what he has done for the franchise.

Eagles_Fan_in_San_Fran

On keeping Reid at this point:
“For who, for what?”

Concussed FB

Worth watching the post game show, Didinger looked to be a few moments from an epic meltdown on the loathsome Rendell.

ceteris_paribus1776

Why does everyone keep asking “what was the difference tonight…” I regard to Cam or Carolina in general when it was clear that the difference was playing a truly shitty opponent! One of the worst 5 teams in the league with KC, Oak, Cle & Jax

BobSmith77

Reid in the post-game conference acts like a professional in that he refuses to throw any body under the bus and take the onus on himself. Really difficult thing to do given the circumstances. He easily could lash out or be critical of some of his player’s mistakes tonight including the rookies.

I will disagree with him though that is team played with a ‘high energy level’ tonight including on defense.

Eagles_Fan_in_San_Fran

It’s just the same recycled crap he’s shooting out once again.
And who’s he going to throw under the bus, anyway – he’s 100% responsible for this roster and team.

BobSmith77

He easily could have thrown Brown under the bus or the poor execution by his players. He didn’t.

Not saying the Reid deserves heaping praise for saying the same generic stuff. Just acting like a professional and keeping his demeanor in the spite of this debacle. That’s all.

mhrinda

It gets old. Let his players take responsibility for constantly losing game after game after game…. him protecting his players has gone a little too far.

P_P_K

I completely agree about Andy’s professionalism and integrity. Imagine how tough it must be to stand there and answer those questions knowing the fans are hanging “Fire Andy” banners and your career in the City is coming to an end. A lot of his rote answers certainly have gotten old, but the guy still acts like a leader in that he accepts the buck stops with him.

mhrinda

Tommy are you ready to surrender now?

TommyLawlor

Never!!! 8-8 and on the way to the Super Bowl. How can you doubt it will happen?

mhrinda

Go Eagles !!

mhrinda

Seriously lets pray we get a GM and coach that can evaluate talent and can get a system in place that we can all enjoy watching again….

SteveH

If Bryce Brown hadn’t fumbled twice that would have been a pretty epic first start for him. He does look like a legit talent though, good size/strength/speed and a surprising amount of elusiveness. If he can get ball security under control he has serious upside moving forward.

TommyLawlor

Big time potential. Must clean up the mistakes.

Eagles4life

Andy Reid in his press conference: “COX has suffered a lower back contusion….. LOL!!!

Baloophi

RE: Fumbles and mental mistakes…

In an alternate universe where Bill Parcells was coaching this team, are there 11 players on either side of the ball that he would even put out there? Or would he have gone Norman Dale and played with 3 or 4 guys to prove a point?

BobSmith77

If Parcells was the GM/coach, he would make some changes after this game including moving Babin into a role as just a limited role player and not a starter for making that really stupid offsides penalty & his constant lack of gap and lane discipline.

BobSmith77

Didinger – “This is just a lousy defense.” Pretty much and all you need to know about this game & team right now.

BobSmith77

Invested massive resources the past 2 offseasons to improve the defense and they have subsequently got a worse performance each season.

Besides Cox, Kendricks, and Cole, I don’t see any starters on this defense right now who have a good bet to be the starters in Week 1 next year. Not because Kendricks or Cole have played that well either but there are so many holes that they Eagles won’t be able to address them all.

BobSmith77

Reuben Frank – “First time in franchise history that the Eagles have allowed 28 or more points in 5 consecutive games.”
